She Is the Matador

Visually stunning and beautifully crafted, Ella es el Matador offers fascinating profiles of two female matadors currently in the male-dominated arena, the acclaimed Maripaz Vega and neophyte Eva Florencia. These women are gender pioneers by necessity, confronting both bull and social code. But what emerges through this mesmerizing film is their truest motivation—a sheer passion for bullfighting, in the pursuit of a dream. (Huesca International Film Festival)
